So why not spread the love to another regional town instead?
Yes, Bathurst benefits from having the track there and yes it would likely benefit even more so if the proposed venture went forward.
But what about towns with nothing, no Velocity Park, no track even? Doesn't really make sense to build another track at Bathurst to "help the local area" when some regions have no track at all.
Spread it round I say, give more people a practical way to get into motorsport and/or get out to see the Supercars. Not to mention the other benefits a track would bring to a regional town.
